This work investigates neocartilage formation in bovine and porcine gelatin methacryloyl-based hydrogels photocrosslinked using ultraviolet or visible light photoinitiator systems.
Hydrogels are excellent candidates for the sustained local delivery of anticancer drugs, as they possess tunable physicochemical characteristics that enable to control drug release kinetics and potentially tackle problem systemic side effects in traditional chemotherapeutic delivery. Yet, current systems often involve complicated manufacturing or covalent bonding processes not compatible with regulatory market reality. Here, we developed a novel gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based system...
